The Syndicate project at this time is a stable blockchain that was walked away from by the original dev do to rising costs of developing the vision with no funding. Over the past few months a new team of devs including some of the original team have been preparing the project for a rebirth via a soft launch, you can read about it on the first page. The development slack does not care or talk about price only development hence the name development slack, I would make sure you are in the correct 2 year old admin slack for project questions and updates. This new slack that popped up after the sudden price rise had nothing to do with a development change. This group is trying there best to form their own community and vision around the project it seems, we wish them the best of luck. Once the soft launch happens there will be a new ANN page for the project and it will be moderated for FUD and emotional outbursts that detract from the project goal. I am going to help alot of people out and again say NOTHING has changed but the price concerning this project at this time. I will leave you with this, that once we are done with our testnet findings and have more to report you can find that information on our slack or twitter. This coin has alot of potential and I would encourage new investors who are MATURE enough to buy and wait before the launch to do just that, if you require more information you will simply have to wait and by than the price will most certainly be higher as the top 10 wallets have not stopped accumulating for 14 months.
